## What it was

From July 2022 to May 2023 I taught web development for CareerFoundry. It was a remote job, and I did it while I was studying at Northeastern.

## What I did

My students were new to the industry, and I taught them to build full-stack web applications in JavaScript and React. They sent in projects as they went, and I got feedback back to each group within 24 hours. I also worked with the course's mentors on getting students into web development jobs.

## What I took from it

Teaching beginners made me explain things plainly, and reviewing that many projects made me quicker at reading other people's code. Being a teacher also makes you a better learner.
